(Dillsboro, Ind.) – An intersection improvement project has been completed in Dillsboro.
INDOT Southeast announced this afternoon that all lanes along U.S. 50 at the Short Street and Industrial Circle intersection, as well as the Front Street and Beatty Road intersections have reopened.
The speed limit along this portion of U.S. 50 will permanently remain at 45 mph.
In October, U.S. 50 began operating as a reduced conflict intersection at the intersections listed above.

RCIs are used as alternatives to traditional intersections on high-speed, four-lane divided highways. Instead of vehicles crossing fast-moving lanes of mainline traffic to go straight or turn left, motorists on secondary roads turn right in the same direction of traffic at the RCI, merge into the left lane, and then make a U-turn in the direction they intend to travel.
The purpose of the project is to enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and reduce crash frequency.
